Author:Heather Tick

In the age of modern medical miracles, it is easy to forget that we change our body chemistry every time we eat. The quality and composition of our food has the power to increase or decrease body-wide inflammation.

Topics covered in this sessions will include the evidence, suggested interventions, and how to overcome barriers to change. (Recorded at PAINWeek 2016)
